I gave up & just downloaded the newest Desktop 2.8.3. Altered the curl.conf file & I'm back up & running. For those running 2.5.1, the curl.conf fix just doesn't work, as far as I can tell. I don't think there was a curl.conf file to begin with. I re-installed it afresh, just to be sure. It must have some other way of doing things.... I'm completely self-taught, know enough to get by, and rely on the kindness & knowledge of folks like notting, morac, & unitron putting their know-how out here in the public forum for those of us still learning. Can't thank you enough!! And thanks to morac for mentioning that maybe my Desktop version was just too old... yep, that was the problem. I'm a, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it, type"... but it finally broke. It was time to update.

If it ain't broke, wait 15 minutes. Someone will release a new version of something else you can't avoid using and that will break it.

First, open Terminal and type in this command: 'curl -c cookies.txt -d "tivo:MAK" http:/ /tivoip:80'
(replace "MAK" with the Media Access Key and "tivoip" with the ip of your tivo) (and it won't let me post any "links" since it's my second post so remove the space between the first and second slash)
Then cookies.txt will be placed in your home folder.
Open it, and change the value 1360972800 to whatever you want (it's the number of seconds past January 1, 1970 that the cookie will expire). I just changed the first 1 to a 2.
Then, save it to some folder out of the way (I just threw it in my Documents folder).
Then, go to iTivo in the Applications folder, right-click, and click "Show Package Contents". Go to Contents, then Resources, then right-click on http-fetcher.pl, and open it in Text-Edit. Once there, change "-c /tmp/cookies.txt" to "-b /Users/'homefolder'/Documents/cookies.txt" (change 'homefolder' to the name of your user account). Then re-open iTivo and it should start working again!

It's actually much easier than that, but http-fetcher.pl is the key. Open this in a text editor and change the part of the curl command that says:

-c /tmp/cookies.txt

to

-b sid=123

That's it. No need to use a cookie jar file. Just hard code the cookie right into curl. So, to use part of your instructions:

...go to iTivo in the Applications folder, right-click, and click "Show Package Contents". Go to Contents, then Resources, then right-click on http-fetcher.pl, and open it in Text-Edit. Once there, change "-c /tmp/cookies.txt" to "-b sid=123" . Then re-open iTivo and it should start working again!

Is this something that is not passing thru correctly to handbrakecli or what? Is there any way to get a log of what is going on with the encode in handbrake thru kmttg (like being able to see a log of the kmttg commands after encoding?)

What version of handbrake are you using? When I try with version 0.9.5 with --gain option I get error that option doesn't exist:
C:\home\kmttg\handbrake\HandBrakeCLI.exe: unrecognized option `--gain'
unknown option (--gain)

If I switch to a more recent version such as 0.9.8 then it works. So I'm guessing perhaps you are not pointing kmttg at a recent installation under File-Configure-Programs.

ah, for some reason I didn't even think about that.I just figured that all the non kmttg stuff was automatically updated to the latest versions. at least that makes total sense.

when I get the kinks worked out, I think I will have some helpful encode profiles to load up.

one other thought, if there any way to be able to have an input field in kmttg? for example, I am trying to come up with something that could also process tv shows on DVD and encode and such, but you need to be able to select the program number on the disc for it to work (I think). still playing with it.

For something like a DVD you can use a ripper that rips main title to a single file (plenty of them have that option) and use FILES tab in kmttg as your entry point.

Video ReDo, to use Quickstream Fix (yes, timestamp issues do happen from DVDs)

KMTTG to push to Tivo.

I kinda do this, but of course am looking to make it even better. I use dvd fab to rip the multi episode dvd to the hard drive (dvd decrypter is defeated by several stupid sony and other discs)

I have off and on done the videoredo part, but in the past, that lost subtitles and other stuff, so I stopped using it and just went episode by episode in handbrake (but really in video.net) which works awesome and easily.

But using the cli, if there were a way to input the numbers for program number, you could do it in kmttg. Basically in the input area, identify the program numbers and then kmttg could encode each one using whichever option.

I don't currently know of any way to take the already decrypted dvd files and have something output all the episodes without going one by one into either videoredo or handbrake. That part would be very nice.

On the latest version, it seems the remote behavior has now changed to not run until its spot in the queue. For example, when encoding or adcutting, remote search and other remote functions will not work (refresh of npl does work).

Was this intentionally changed or is it a issue? I can understand it not running when the queue is stopped, but in the current state, you cannot schedule or browse listings if anything else is running.

Increase your "active job limit" setting (File-Configure-Program Options) since that affects most jobs other than NPL or downloads. For example if it is set to only 1 and there currently is 1 encode job running it will queue. If you have a lot of things currently running in kmttg GUI then you are probably better off running another kmttg window for Remote related activities.

If I increase the 'active job limit', then more encoding jobs start up. My system can only handle 2 of those at a time without freezing in cpu hell.

Anyway to make the remotes always run, not charging them as 'active jobs'?

I sit here looking at my S2 farm and envy those rich urbanites with their fancy 6 year old S3s.

Do I hear violins playing somewhere?
